    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, You must not really be reading my posts or you are trying to discredit my testimony with things I don't believe or teach. Joe

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, I clearly explained by scripture that Christ gives the Early Rain of the Spirit to the children of the Devil (all mankind). Otherwise, how can a person have any faith in Christ? Where would their faith come from? Certainly not from within themselves. Paul says that a...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, You said: Yes, no man comes to the Father unless the Spirit draw him - but the drawing takes place in THIS LIFE, not the next! Not true. Here is what scripture says: John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. Since Christ was resurrected...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: You've shown nothing except inclination to wrongly interpret Scriptures over here to overthrow the truth of Scripture written over there. Here's a few verses that not only prove God's gift of free will choice to us to either serve Him or Satan, but...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, You said: The "Israel of God" is anyone anywhere who "walk by this rule" of the "new creature" in Christ. Repentance isn't limited to just impenitent/apostate "Israel" as you claim, according to Acts 26:20 KJV Yes, all converted believers become spiritual Israel and a new...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jim C, I do not teach what the Pentecostal church teaches about the Early and Latter Rain. Their teaching is false. You should be able to see that from my post. Also, water is the spiritual symbol for the Holy Spirit. It comes to a person as rain. Patience is a part of the Early and...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: Regarding the "false doctrine of free will", Isaiah 1:18-19 KJV absolutely establishes the concept of free-will choice to either be willing and obedient and eat of the good of the land, or to refuse and rebel and be devoured by the sword. Isa 1:18...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, You said: Repentance is a gift - but only in the sense of making it available to us and divinely encouraging us to do it. Paul never said God "force feeds" us repentance - He "leads" us to it and leaves the ball in our court. Repentance is referring to repentance from dead...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jericho, Since you asked about the Early Rain of the Spirit, I wanted to answer you in a separate post so that I would have more space to write. Here are two key scriptures concerning the Early and Latter Rains: James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jericho, You asked: Are you a Seventh-day Adventist because I have never heard that term before? I am not a Seventh Day Adventist. All church organizations in the world are apostate just as Paul said they would be shortly after his death. None of them teach the truth of God's Word. They...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jericho, You are describing people who have not received the Early Rain of the Spirit. The Early Rain is what gives a person their faith in Christ. Without the Spirit, this is what scripture says about a person: Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Hobie, I have explained many times to you that Christ has a plan to save all mankind. In this age, Christ is only bringing in His crop of "First Fruits". They are the Elect who were chosen for this blessing from the foundation of the world. They are the early harvest. Why do you...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, Repentance is a gift from God: 2Tim 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Cassandra, Your statement is contradicted by these scriptures: 1Cor 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Cassandra, You said: It is offered freely, but not all will accept. God's Word says that NO ONE will accept Jesus as Lord because the things of the Spirit are considered "foolishness" to them: 1Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, Why does Christ being the Savior of the world seem to disturb you so much? Don't you love your neighbor and want Christ to save them? Or would that make your salvation seem less special to you? Paul said that no one has anything to boast about concerning their salvation. But...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Michiah-Imla, Here are just a few scriptures that prove you wrong: 1Cor 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Cassandra, Yes, God loves all mankind and that is why He sent Christ into the world: 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. However, to satisfy God's own purposes, God established a plan that will only save a few people in...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, God's Word clearly says that Christ will save all mankind. I quoted just three of the scriptures that state so. In this age, Christ is only saving those people who have been blessed to be saved early. That is why they are called the "First Fruits" (James 1:18) of Christ's...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Phoneman777, Yes, there is a power controlling the thoughts and beliefs of mankind. It is a spiritual power and it originates from God. Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers...
